New and updated features.

These release notes give an overview of the changes for the 2022-01.x to 2022-06.x releases of the VMware Aria Operations for Applications (previously known as Tanzu Observability by Wavefront) service.

2022-06.x Release Notes

Updated the Wavefront REST API Documentation UI: We’ve updated our in-product interactive API documentation to use the latest Swagger API console. To access the API documentation, either click the gear icon and select API Documentation, or go to https://<your_cluster_name>/api-docs/ui/.
New Alerts FAQ Page: Check out the new Alerts FAQ page that answers questions like “Why Did My Alert Misfire?” or “When Does an Alert Resolve?”.

2022-05.x Release Notes

Create and Manage Alerts Revamp: Streamlined experience that improves usability and gives alert creators more options.
- Straightforward settings during creation and edit.
- New Runbooks and Triage Dashboard fields help alert recipients resolve the alert.
- Alert notifications include actionable insights.
Watch the Create Alert Video or look at the new Create Alert Tutorial.

Tip: When you open an existing alert for edit, you’ll see it in alerts v2 GUI. However, all APIs work as before.

Note: There will be a staggered rollout of this feature over the next few weeks.
Turn off Dynamic Dashboard Variable Live Refresh: Users with Dashboard permissions can now toggle whether a dashboard that shows live data performs refresh of dynamic variables.
Decimal Precision in Charts: We have included the Decimal Precision setting, and you can specify how many digits to show after the decimal point for a number of charts, such as:
- Line Plot
- Point Plot
- Stacked Area
- Stacked Column
- Table
See the Chart Reference for details.

2022-04.x Release Notes

Obsolete Metrics Toggle for Dashboards: You can now include obsolete metrics in all charts within a dashboard. Doing so, obsolete metrics are included for all the charts in the dashboard.

Important: Dashboard performance might suffer if you include obsolete metrics. Using the setting for individual charts is recommended.

Set Up and Manage the AWS Integration by Using the API: Learn how you can use the Wavefront API to set up and manage the AWS integration.

2022-03.x Release Notes

We have added a new API Tokens permission for user accounts. This change does not affect service accounts.

Important: All existing users, who were previously able to generate their own API tokens, can still use and manage their existing API tokens. However, going forward, only users who have the API Tokens permission can generate new API tokens.

To enable users to generate API tokens:

Log in to Wavefront as a user with Accounts permission.
Click the gear icon and select Accounts
On the User Accounts tab, select one or more users.
Click +Permission and select API Tokens.
